Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 9, 1915.

Application filed March 5, 1914.. Serial No. 822,608.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN T. WELLMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means for carrying typewriters, although it is capable of being used for other purposes.

An object to be attained is the provision of a carrier which may be readily attached to a typewriter, and as easily removed therefrom, and that when not in service may be compacted into a minimum of space for carrying in the pocket.

A further object is to provide a carrier which may be economically constructed and that will be eflicient and durable in service.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which like reference characters indicate cor responding parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing Figure 1, is an elevation of the device as applied for use; Fig. 2 is a perspective of anengaging member as is Fig. 3.

Referring more particularly to the drawing the numeral 1 indicates a portion of a typewriter; the paper carriage being omitted in order to show the engagement of the carrier with the frame. A handle 2 is provided, that may be constructed of any suitable material, and is of such shape as to comfortably lit in the hand. At each end of the handle is a transverse opening 3, in which is fitted a link, or ring t. An engaging member 5 is constructed preferably of flat material and comprises a vertical portion (5, a horizontal portion 7, and a vertical return 8. An eye is formed at the upper end of the vertical portion, and in said eye 9 a link, or ring 10 is loosely fitted. A flexible connective 11 passes through the rings 4L and 10 and serves to join the engaging member to the handle. The con nective may be of any suitable material, but I preferably use leather as being less likely to mar or scratch the japanned surface of a type writer; The leather band forming the connective may be passed respectively through the rings a, 10 the ends folded over and riveted on the body of the band as shown at 12, or the ends may be lapped and sewed together as indicated at 13, or the ends after passing through the rings 4:, 10 may be-connected by other suitable means. The engaging member is lined with a soft substance 14: the office of which is to prevent the engaging member from injuring the finish of the type writer. This lining may be secured in place by means of an adhesive, as is the case in Fig. 1, by countersunk rivets 15 as in Fig. 2, or by folding a piece of leather around the steam 6 and securing it thereon by means of stitches 16 as in Fig. 3.

It is thought that the manner of use will he clearly understood from Fig. 1 without further description.

Having described my invention so that any one may make and use the same I claim In a carrier, a handle, rings mounted in each end thereof, engaging members each comprising a main portion having an eye on one end and a right angled extension on the other end thereof, a return on said extension, rings in said eyes, and straps passing through said rings and connecting said members respectively with the handle.
